Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has raised concerns that Russia may become the first nation to deploy troops to Iran, potentially positioning itself in direct opposition to the United States and Israel.
This warning follows reports indicating that Moscow is actively sharing intelligence with Iran, which could escalate military tensions in the region.
In a recent phone call with former President Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin firmly denied allegations that his government was providing Iran with information designed to aid in targeting American military forces stationed in the Middle East.
Despite these denials, an article in the Washington Post has claimed that the Kremlin has transmitted critical data to Iran regarding the locations of American military assets, including both warships and aircraft, which raises alarm about the implications for U.S. operations in the region.
In light of these developments, President Zelensky expressed his apprehensions today, suggesting that Russia could indeed take the unprecedented step of sending troops to Iran.
This potential move could significantly alter the dynamics of international military engagements and further complicate the already tense relationship between these nations and the United States.
Zelensky wrote: “Russia started supporting the Iranian regime with drones. It will definitely help with missiles, and it is also helping them with air defence.
“What’s next? Given the situation, there is only one question: when and which country will be the first to support the Iranian regime by sending troops?
“As happened with Russia, when North Korea sent 10,000 soldiers, who are now deployed in Russia but can be sent to Ukraine. The same could happen in Iran – Russia could send troops there.”
